Alien Arena has released a new version of the game, Combat Edition (version number 7,66). As always, the game is freeand runs both on Linux and Windows.

The team behind this game, even released a new game, based on Alien Arena: Alien Arena Tactical, a class based tactical first person shooter. At this time, the new game is an alpha demo, is free and available on Linux and Windows.

we have added great amounts of new content, like maps, skins, a new weapon etc.The rest is from improvements in the code. even external files like OpenAL, to get the bestdoppler sound effect come in the package :)

ArnaudNime: This game will run on most modern PC's. It's based on Quake 2 and all the special eye-candy can be turned off to make it more playable on lower-end rigs. Not sure what the minimums are, but my guess is that the only real minimum requirements are a 32 MB graphics card that supports OpenGL and a 1.4 GHz CPU. As with anything, make sure your power supply is adequate or you'll experience choppy gameplay during any kind of combat.

No problemo fellas - this game's a helluva ride and if you like those cheesy sci-fi flicks you'll fall in love with it. I actually recognize some of the weapon sounds from an old toy "future blaster" gun I used to have.
